The NEATEST Way to DECREASE Two Stitches + FREE PATTERN

When it comes to decreases, sometimes we need to reduce two stitches at the same time. It often happens in lace patterns and when we shape the crown of a hat or knit toys.

No matter why this decrease is required in the project, it's better to make it as nice-looking as possible. Double vertical decrease (also called "double centred decrease") is perfect for this job. It creates an even chain of stitches right at the centre of the decrease while turning three stitches into one and providing the shaping needed for the project.
